"RUSH" FREIGHT SERVICE.
O. R. N. Adopts a System of Mani
fest Freight Rules.
1 Owing to the remarkable increase
in Oriental freight shipments, and to
the demand for more rapid dispatch
of perishable shipments, locally, the
O, R. N. Company has adopted a
act of "Manifest Freight Rules," to
go Into effect ai once and Intended
to give certain classes of freight. In
carload lots, precedence over all other
classes of freight.
Portland. Umatilla and Huntington
are the manifesting points on the O.
R. St N. At those points all perisha
ble freight and merchandise in car
load lots and all trans-Paclflc ship
ments of whatever commodity, will
be marked "Manifest" and given pre
cedence over other shipments.
Conductors, yardmasters and sta
tion agents are given strict Instruc
tions to rush all cars so labelled and
20 cars of manifest freight will be
the limit in one train.
This la a new ruling on the O. R.
St N. and will be welcomed by ship
pers who desire quick dispatch. Fruit,
vegetables, merchandise, and any
high-priced or perishable commodity
will be. included In the manifest lists.
Umatilla will be the manifesting point
for all such freight originating be
tween Portland and La Grande, in
cluding Pendleton and the Washing
ton division.

never used a mile of tt. It expires
within a few days, so I am going to
take a few days off to use it up." He
Is enthusiastic about the prospects of

Rock considered of no value except
for grazing purposes. Is now yielding
35 bushels of wheat to the acre,

Bank
He Believes Oregon Has Localities Su
perior to Colorado and Arliona for
the Treatment of Consumption
The Practice of Medicine and Sur
gery in the Interior of Oregon Mas
Its Peculiar Phases and Most of
Them Are Strenuous. v
In America, where for almost halt
a century the dueling pistol baa been
rusting m Its case, where the sword
of outraged repuluiiou remains In the
scabbard and where Insult la fol
lowed immediately with a blow of the
fist or a mere shrug of the shoulder,
a vague unreality hovers over "affairs
of honor." When one hears of Hei
delberg or any of the great German
universities one is wont to associate
It with broadswords, and If one sees
a scarred face, one Is apt to think of
Heidelberg. In American streets one
who has had one s cheeks laid open
with a razor-bladed sword, Is bound
to attract more than passing notice.
Dr. H. Volp recently arrived In
Pendleton from Burns, Ore., for the
purpose of practicing medicine and
surgery here, is a German and an
alumnus of Heidelberg. No . better
certificate of the fact that he was a
course student Is needed, than the
livid marks across his clean-shaven
cheeks. The doctor Is a tall, mild-
mannered man, with a touch of grey
in his hair. He Is of pleasing person
ality, and his voice has that peculiar
rythmic sound of the German whose
English Is perfect.
"I am pleased with Pendleton," re'
marked the doctor. "It Is a city of
promise and I think I shull like It. I
desire my business close at hand. In
Harney county, the physician consid
ers 36 miles a short call. A ride of
126 miles to attend a patient, I have
experienced. In Harney county there
is more need of a surgeon than of a
physician. During the several years
I spent there. I averaged about two
gunshot cases every 30 days. Such
affairs were generally post mortems
when I arrived, for the stockman of
Harney shoots, with a steady hund
and a deadly aim."
Before going to Burns Dr. Volp
practiced In Portland, but was obliged
to seek a higher altitude on account
of his wife's health. She was suffer
ing with tubercular trouble. "Mrs.
Volp," said her hUBband. "is now hi
excellent health. The high, barren
location of Burns Is an Ideal abode
for those suffering from tuberculosis
or any form of lung trouble."
The doctor went so far as to de
clare that there were places In Ore
gon, even superior to Colorado and
Arizona for the treatment of con
sumption. "For the nervous forms of
the disease." he sal J, " a climate like
that of Burns la better than the dry
atmosphere of the aouthwest. Right
here In Pendleton the high altitude is
beneficial to consumptives."
Of dueling In the German universi
ties,, one is tempted to Inquire of the
doctor. "There are 21 large universi
ties," he answer, "and on an average
of 8000 duels are yearly fought among
the students. It appears disgusting
and absurd to me now when I think
of the fights and my scars have been
the means of much annoyance.
"It Is a peculiar fact that American
students are the most enthusiastic
duelists In the German universities.
The Mexicans are possibly next, while
the Englishman generally keeps out
of them, and Is at best a poor swords
man. Why, I know a Chicagoan
named Woods, who had 31 engage
ments, during his student days, and
whose face Is frightful to behold."
The doctor, himself, fought 17, and
he has but to push back his Iron
grey locks to display the effects of
broadsword cuts on his Bkull.
"But, with all the apparent child's
play and unnecessaryness In sword
fighting," explained the Heidelberg
man, his face lighting with enthusiasm
and feeling for his alma mater, "it
serves to broaden the shoulders and
bronse the face of more than one pale
faced German youth, and put in him
the spirit of the soldier and the cour
age of manhood."
